International Conference on Oxidants, 1976 -Analysis of Evidence and Viewpoints. Part V. The Issue of Oxidant Transport.

摘要

In recognition of the important and somewhat controversial nature of the oxidant control problem,the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) organized and conducted a 5-day International Conference in September 1976. The more than one hundred presentations and discussions at the Conference revealed the existence of several issues and prompted the EPA to sponsor a followup review/analysis effort. The followup effort was designed to review carefully and impartially,to analyze relevant evidence and viewpoints reported at the International Conference (and elsewhere),and to attempt to resolve some of the oxidant-related scientific issues. The review/analysis was conducted by experts (who did not work for the EPA or for industry) of widely recognized competence and experience in the area of photochemical pollution occurrence and control. Part V includes discussions on the issue of oxidant transport. The authors deal with the phenomena of urban plume formation and transport,measurement and tracking,and oxidants and precursor ranges,and recommend future studies.
